I'm sure she'll challenge it if she loses. Her begging emails will continue, now asking for more money to help her challenge her defeat. All she does is beg for money.

The tightest House race in the nation may turn out to be the re-election effort of Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn. (who tried to get the GOP presidential nomination). With 201 of 280 precincts reporting, she has 49.99 percent of the vote to Democratic challenger Jim Graves' 49.72 percent.

This is what NPR had
